The claim that Fatih Erbakan, the leader of the New Welfare Party, stated "We will support Mansur Yavaş if he becomes the joint candidate" has made headlines. While the repercussions of this claim continue, Mansur Yavaş arrived at the IYI Party headquarters to visit IYI Party leader Musavat Dervişoğlu.
Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş met with the Chairman of the İYİ Party, Müsavat Dervişoğlu, at the İYİ Party Headquarters. After the meeting, both figures are expected to hold a press conference.
THE LOBBIES ARE BUZZING
In a period where discussions about early elections are on the agenda, the claim that Fatih Erbakan, the Chairman of the New Welfare Party, stated "We will support Mansur Yavaş if he becomes the joint candidate" has stirred the political lobbies. The meeting between Yavaş and Dervişoğlu that took place after this statement has led to various interpretations regarding possible alliances and candidacy scenarios.
THE "COWARD" OUTBURST STILL LINGERS IN MINDS
It is remembered that during the 2023 elections, Meral Akşener, who was the head of the İYİ Party at the time, stated that they wanted to make Mansur Yavaş a candidate; however, she mentioned that Yavaş did not run because he was afraid. Yavaş responded to these remarks by saying, "I have never been afraid; those who are afraid do not run for the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality. Being accused of cowardice bothers me."
